Man indicted in Wichita bank robbery

The indictment alleges that on April 28, Wilkerson robbed the Fidelity Bank at 501 E. Pawnee.

Wilkerson, 34, initially was charged May 2 in a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Wichita. The complaint alleged that about 2 p.m. on the day of the robbery a teller supervisor found Wilkerson sitting at her desk and asked him if she could help him. He gave her a note saying: "I need $10,000. Otherwise I will kill someone... "

Wilkerson left the bank carrying cash from a teller's drawer in a backpack. Within a few minutes of the robbery, Wichita police arrested him at 2331 S. St. Francis.
